My plants tend to get powdery mold and then black mildew so it took me three years to get fruit from an Isis. When the leaves fell off I could not tell if the fruit was ripe yet; it was all shades of white, pale pink and yellow, and had no flavor at all.

I ran the fruit through a food mill and cooked it down to the consistency of canned sauce.

An amazing transformation took place; it was intense, sweet and tomatoey, miles better than the raw fruit.

The next year I planted two; both died fruitless.

this is one of my favorite tomatoes and I am regrettably not growing it this year. So prolific, colors are varied and remind me the tied dyed cloth ranging fom purple to green to pink. Late blooomers, did not seem to suffer wilt here in Colorado and were going strong in Sept.

I grew these little tomatoes last year. I had no problem with wilt. The leaves had some spots by the end of July but overall the plant remained healthy until the first frost. The fruit tasted a little like salmon. If you salt it tastes more like brook trout. Once you swallow it, a strong tomato flavor comes back up your throat and you can actually enjoy this tomato all over again. Unfortunately it doesn’t taste as good the second time around.
